A real-time data stream from the Spirit of Tasmania I has been set up and went live in December 2013. The IMOS SOOP-TMV sub-facility collects data from an autonomous marine monitoring system on the Spirit of Tasmania I to monitor long-term climate change indicators and measures of ecosystem health in Bass Strait surface waters and coastal waters of Victoria and Tasmania. TMV maintains an underway sampling Seabird SBE45 thermo-salinograph (TSG), a Wetlabs combination fluorometer and turbidity sensor (ECO-FLNTU), a GPS were deployed in June 2008 on the Spirit of Tasmania I (VLST) for initial trials. Routine data collection commenced on 28 August 2008. Transects are dependent upon Spirit of Tasmania 1 operating schedule. These are typically undertaken 7:30pm to 7am with subsequent in-port monitoring 7am-7:30pm at Port Melbourne and Devonport docks.
